The MRMC Department of Radiology Was the First Facility in the Pee Dee to Develop a Department of Nuclear Medicine

McLeod Nuclear Medicine has been operational for over 40 years, and the department currently comprises five cameras and eight technologists.

Nuclear medicine images assist the physician in diagnosing diseases, tumors, infections, and other disorders by evaluating organ function. It is unique because it provides information about organs and their function and often allows for diagnostic information to be discovered prior to the onset of physical symptoms. An example is a bone scan, which can detect metabolic changes in the bones caused by infection, trauma, or tumor. Such abnormalities can be seen on a bone scan long before they can be detected by other imaging technologies, such as a diagnostic X-ray.
